  • This is the big one! All Dune Talk regulars have seen Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Two (some even 5 times) and converge for a comprehensive analysis. That's right! Garin, Johnny, Marcus, Mark, Rachel, and Simon are in FULL-SPOILER mode for this movie review, juxtaposed with character breakdowns, thematic explorations, and comparisons with Frank Herbert's original novel. With these diverse perspectives, there are bound to be disagreements. What are the film's greatest achievements and how may it influence the legacy of the 'Dune' series?

    On this week's Dune Talk, we're joined by author and entertainment journalist Ryan Britt for an insightful discussion on The Spice Must Flow. Presenting a fascinating narrative of Dune's rich 60-year history, this new book starts at Frank Herbert's weird journey to publishing Dune and ends at Denis Villeneuve's current movie adaptation. Marcus and Mark have lots of questions and all topics are on the table; including themes of ecology, the expanded books, and tackling claims of "cultural appropriation." What is Dune's lasting legacy on this planet?

  • On this week's Dune Talk, Garin, Marcus, Mark, and Simon dive into Empire's interview with Denis Villeneuve, regarding what we can expect from Dune: Part Two. The director has spoken of his current Dune film adaptation as the realization of a childhood dream, however his ambition extends beyond this second movie. Villeneuve repeats his intention to (eventually) film Dune Messiah, completing a trilogy. What will the third movie be called?

  • On today's Dune Talk, the crew are joined by Max Evry, author of A Masterpiece in Disarray: David Lynch’s Dune. An Oral History. The film journalist spent two years interviewing dozens of people involved in 1984’s Dune movie and uncovering new behind-the-scenes insights. Marcus, Mark (DuneInfo), and Simon have many questions! Would a certain Top Gun star have made a good Paul Atreides? And, how could the main theme of Frank Herbert's original Dune novel be absent from the movie?
